| Venturing beyond conventional chronological surveys of famous works and directors, this course considers animation as a diverse and international medium defined by the convergence of the avant-garde, technological development and popular culture. The course tackles the complex sociocultural and political contexts that have shaped animation from its inception as scientific tool and marginal entertainment to its current pervasive status, with a focus on experimental and innovative animated art works. Through a series of screenings, lectures, discussions, journals, papers and creative assignments, students will heighten their critical understanding of animation as a historical and contemporary visual medium with a global presence. |
